AMLO Shows Some Spine

I don’t disagree, but I think it is wishful thinking that somehow our drug policies will change.it is indeed very similar to what happened here in the ‘30’s. I hope that somehow México will be able to get better control of the cartels. Its citizens deserve better public safety.
